EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Siamese twins Radica and Doodica, also known as the Orissa sisters, who were joined at the chest. Born in India in 1889, their extraordinary story took an unexpected turn when they were purchased by showman Captain Colman from their parents in 1893. However, fate had a different plan for these inseparable siblings. In February 1902, tragedy struck as Doodica fell victim to Tuberculosis. This devastating illness forced them to undergo a groundbreaking surgery led by the skilled French surgeon Eugene Louis Doyen. The operation aimed to separate the twins and save Doodica's life. Although Radica survived this intricate procedure, she tragically succumbed to Tuberculosis just one year later. The photograph captures a significant moment in medical history and provides insight into the lives of these remarkable individuals. It depicts a bedroom scene with several people present during this crucial time – including a nun attending to their needs while surrounded by concerned men and women. Published on March 2nd, 1902, in "Le Petit Journal" magazine from Paris, this illustration serves as both documentation of an extraordinary event and a testament to human resilience against adversity. Through this image, we are reminded of the complexities of healthcare and medicine throughout history. As we reflect upon this poignant snapshot frozen in time, it is impossible not to be moved by the strength exhibited by Radica - Doodica and marvel at how far medical advancements have come since that
